What Clients Say About Us
“Mr. Delshad helped me with my wrongful termination case. I cannot recommend him enough. He is knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, and enthusiastic about finding the best solution. Most importantly, I can tell you with complete faith, you can trust Mr. Delshad and feel confident he has your best interests in mind.”
“We had a start-up that started to do well, and I got fired for an absurd reason. I was to lose all my stake in the company and lots of money owed to me. The wrongful termination suit went in my favor due to the successful litigation of this firm.”
“My company was calling me a contractor when I shouldn’t have been. A few of us hired Jonathan, and he got us a huge settlement. It was relatively quick and very painless. All I had to do was give him some paperwork and an hour of my time to go over everything and answer his questions, and he handled the rest. Thank you so so much!!”
“When I needed the help of an employment lawyer, I knew I needed to turn to someone I could trust to act in my best interest (and not his own). That person was Jonathan Delshad. After I explained the situation, he shared all options and reasons for potential courses of action with me in a way that was easy to understand. I decided to proceed with Mr. Delshad, and he brought a swift and satisfactory resolution to my case. Through working with Mr. Delshad, I learned how to protect myself in the future. While I hope never to need his services again, I know who to turn to and where to refer anyone who needs a lawyer who will act with integrity, honesty, and transparency.”
